Notes
'Peter Pan Gold' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Peter Pan Gold') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast and stands erect, and it handles dry spells well. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Cotton Candy cosmos, Melampodium, and Red fescue.
